No

No
The narrative POV voices are exactly the same - if it didn't say the character name at the top of the page, I wouldn't know who's POV a given chapter was from. I think this takes place in Ireland but you wouldn't much know it from reading the book. A lot of a lot of romances and longing glances; I need a venn diagram to keep track of all the overlapping crushes. The twist was obvious from page one. Points off for directly spelling out the thesis of the book in a hokey, overly sentimental, Hallmark movie way at the end.
Some of the darker magical realism elements are atmospheric and cool. Still, overall pretty average YA fare.
